Helene Becomes a Category 2 .....
Overnight, Hurricane Helene strengthened to become a strong category 2 hurricane. With the latest 11 am advisory:Sustained winds: 105 mph
Motion: NW 10 mph
Location: 935 milese east-northeast of the Northern Leeward Islands
Central Pressure: 970 mb
Helene is expected to intensify over the next 24 hours before encountering any significant wind shear. The eye of the storm is still a littl ragged, it does contain areas of very deep convection around the center of circulation. This storm may take a gradual turn to the north-northwest before being picked up by a trough and carried off to the northwest. Helene will not directly impact the U.S., but because Helene is packing very strong winds expect large swells along the eastern coastline.
